旨在挑战种族歧视影响的政策和计划（如平权行动）受到了激烈的争议。人们提出的解释反对这些政策的因素包括种族偏见、群体威胁和自身利益，以及对群体间正义的看法。我们报告的结果，两个随机的全国电话调查，测试了一个理论为基础的模型，在后种族隔离南非的政策支持的预测。研究结果为Blumer的群体地位模型提供了有限的支持。补偿和优惠待遇政策有不同的潜在的预测因素：侵犯的权利的补偿政策的态度，但不优惠待遇政策的态度，威胁是最强的预测模型的特点。除了威胁和侵犯的权利，政策态度之间的黑人样本与内群体识别，但那些白色样本与偏见。这些变量的影响是在相反的方向为两个样本：政策支持与强大的内群体识别和高水平的威胁之间的黑色样本（即转型政策的潜在受益者），但与低水平的偏见和威胁之间的白色样本。最后，我们考虑这些研究结果对社会变革计划的影响。版权所有（C）2009约翰威利父子有限公司
Policies and programs designed to challenge the effects of racial discrimination (such as affirmative action) are hotly contested. Factors which have been proposed to explain opposition to these policies include racial prejudice, group threat and self-interest, and perceptions of intergroup justice. We report the results of two random national telephone surveys which tested a theoretically based model of the predictors of policy support in post-apartheid South Africa. The results provided limited support for Blumer's group position model. Compensatory and preferential treatment policies had different underlying predictors: Violated entitlement featured in the models of compensatory policy attitudes, but not preferential treatment policy attitudes, where threat was the strongest predictor. In addition to threat and violated entitlement, policy attitudes among the black sample were related to ingroup identification but those of the white sample were related to prejudice. The effects of these variables were in the opposite directions for the two samples: Policy support was associated with strong ingroup identification and high levels of threat among the black sample (i.e. prospective beneficiaries of the transformation policies), but with low levels of prejudice and threat among the white sample. We conclude by considering the implications that these findings have for social change programs. Copyright (C) 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
